They're using squirrel suits. Those things are awesome! They lower your terminal velocity by a huge amount by increasing drag (note the material stretched between the legs and extra on the sides as well). I've gone sky diving a few times, but the squirrel suits are usually only sold to those with more than 500 jumps. Supposedly an experienced jumper can jump from 13K feet from 2 miles off shore and glide all the way to shore the shore line before they have to deploy their chute.
